WWDC 2018: Here's the list of devices that will get iOS 12, WatchOS 5 and MacOS 10.14 Mojave, and their timelines

Use this list to find out if your Apple device is compatible with the latest software.

With Apple’s WWDC 2018 kicking off, the keynote brought three major software announcements that cover a large range of Apple’s key hardware products. For Apple iPhone and Apple iPad devices, the latest software is iOS 12, Apple Watch devices will get WatchOS 5, while Apple laptops and desktop computers are in line for MacOS 10.14 Mojave.

But as is usually the case, new software comes with its own hardware and performance requirements. This can mean that your older devices may no longer have the hardware capability to update to the latest software version. However, Apple has released the list of devices that will receive updates for its three major software roll-outs as announced at WWDC.

iOS 12 is Apple’s latest software version for its smartphone and tablet range, and a large number of its existing devices, including some of the older devices, are set to receive the latest software. In this regard, the good news is that every device that is compatible with iOS 11 will also be compatible with iOS 12, showing that the new software doesn’t have any additional hardware demands. Paid Apple developers will get the developer beta now, the public beta will roll out on June 26, while the final version will be out in September some time.

Interestingly, the oldest devices on the list set to receive the update are the Apple iPhone 5S and iPad Mini 2, which were launched nearly five years ago in late 2013. The full list of devices:

However, you do need an iPhone 5S or later with iOS 12 to be able to download and install WatchOS 5.
